Shining a light on great new music.
Ruvellas are a five-piece outfit from Dundee. They’ve been catching the eye this past 12 months supporting the likes of Shambolics, The Snuts, and The Dunts. They consist of Lewis O’Farrell (lead guitar), Matthew ‘Maddie’ Short (rhythm guitar), Ben Gowans (bass), and Aiden Stuart (vocals).
Hailing from Glasgow, Dylan John Thomas looks set to be the one to finally raise the bar of the troubadour.
Having supported Gerry Cinnamon and Liam Gallagher in 2019, 2020 is Thomas’ as soon as he chooses. Let’s dive into his released from last year:
Lyrically and vocally, Thomas has found himself a space between Jake Bugg and Gerry Cinnamon on this spritely acoustic affair.
At times, it threatens to become a Scouse affair with gentle rumble of The Stands and Shack coming into play. Throw in the sublimes string section and, Thomas is already musically light years ahead of his peers.
This sun kissed genteel affair will lead you to Donovan via his contemporary Gerry Cinnamon.
The closing solo, finds John Squire in Fairport Convention. Steeped folk heritage, ‘Mersey Paradise’ ripples through the heart and soul of the quaint pop song.
